Self-Exchange Reaction Kinetics of Metallocenes Revisited: Insights from the Decamethylferricenium−Decamethylferrocene Reaction at Variable Pressure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rate constants k(ex) and volumes of activation deltaV(ex) have been obtained using (1)H NMR for the self-exchange reaction of the [(eta(5)-C(5)(CH(3))(5))(2)Fe](+) hexafluorophosphate and tetrafluoroborate with [(eta(5)-C(5)(CH(3))(5))(2)Fe] in acetone-d(6) (deltaV(ex) = -8.6 +/- 0.3 cm(3) mol(-)(1)), dichloromethane-d(2), and (semiquantitatively) in acetonitrile-d(3). Under the experimental conditions, ion pairing was significant only in CD(2)Cl(2), but even that produced only a minor reduction in k(ex) and so had a negligible effect on deltaV(ex) ( = -6.4 +/- 0.2 cm(3) mol(-)(1) with PF(6)(-)). In all cases, deltaV(ex) is negative and consistent with a simple two-sphere activation model, rather than with that of Weaver et al. (Nielson, R. M.; McManis, G. E.; Safford, L. K.; Weaver, M. J. J. Phys. Chem. 1989, 93, 2152) in which the barrier crossing rate is limited by solvent dynamics. Similarly, the approximately 5-fold increase in k(ex) on going from [(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(2)Fe](+/0) to [(eta(5)-C(5)(CH(3))(5))(2)Fe](+/0) in acetone can be explained with the two-sphere model on the basis of the effects of reactant size on the solvent reorganization energy, without reference to solvent dynamics.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
